Vikings WR Justin Jefferson ruled out with ankle sprain for Week 4 game vs. Dolphins
Jefferson suffered the injury on the first drive of Minnesota's Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson will miss their Week 4 home game against the Miami Dolphins due to a left ankle sprain sustained during last week's road victory over the Buccaneers. Despite suffering the injury in his first game since 2023, Jefferson has been a constant presence in the Vikings offense since his 2020 draft by the team.
Currently leading the squad with 179 receiving yards on 13 receptions, Jefferson is on track for his seventh consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season. The Vikings are banking on star quarterback Kyler Murray to make the most of Jefferson's skills, but the two have spent limited time together due to Murray's concussion early in the season and Jefferson's ankle issue.
The Vikings face an upcoming matchup against the Dolphins, who have struggled with their pass defense this season, allowing 9.1 net yards per pass attempt. The Vikings will also face the Saints in Week 5 before taking a week-long break.
